Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Poets of Berlin
This one's a proper head-scratcher. While some adore its unique blueberry-vanilla-green blend, a fair few smell anything from wet dirt and old cigarettes to sickly sweet lemon candy. Definitely not a blind buy.

Our Verdict - No.13 Nouvelle Vague
This lactonic fig and coconut number is a true split-decision scent. Some find it a creamy, luxurious escape to a European summer, while others are baffled by an unpleasant synthetic or rubbery note that makes it unwearable. Sample first, definitely.
